Misled

Why did you go astray

left me here in this wake

to place her in the grave

all alone

forsaken

by you at the moments peak

when I needed someone near

to hear me eulogize

that dear grandmother of mine

who sat by my side always

yet you came not to the graveside

where we dropped her ashes

into the damp ground

a hidden trinket I buried with her

within her remnants

yet you will never know

what it is I hid inside

the hole they dug within

those Memorial Gardens.

 

What kind of husband is this

that will leave your side

when death does kiss

those around you that mean the most

now she is the ghost

that haunts me and still to this day

whispers 'Go, baby girl, Go far away

from that one that traveled

nowehere but inside

his cold, dark mind

and failed to honor me Divine.'

 

So, yes, I left with packed bags

because I knew he failed to show

her honor or love me so

in my hours of need

those vows we had taken

were only a mislead.

This is powerful and full of emotion. It is his loss, be patient and let love come to you. It will in time, if it has not already. Just be patient.

I have mixed feelings reading this..a sadness for what you had to face alone, and anger at someone who hasn't the decency to stand with you. Grrrrrr. It was a beautiful piece, but it also showed the callousness of a human being. No-way should you have not had someone to lean on for at least a few hours. A touching story. Rain..
